„Allies in provoking hilarity at the Chinese“

Editorial content. „CLOWNS OF TWO

      REALMS MEET

      Two of the greatest clowns in the show world have been

brought together for the first time in Sid Grauman‘s

presentation of Chaplin‘s The Circus, which is drawing

throngs to the Chinese Theater.

      The fact was revealed with the formal introduction of

Charlie to Poodles Hanneford behind the scenes.

Neither had met the other until they were brought together

as allies in provoking hilarity at the Chinese.

      ,I never thought I would jump across the continent

to meet the king of comedians,‘  commented

Poodles, and Charlie declared: ,In filming my little

old-fashioned circus I never thought it would

be presented on the same bill with the greatest clown that

Ringling Brothers ever introduced.“

      Grauman‘s Chinese Theater, 6925 Hollywood Blvd., L. A.

      The Circus is released by United

      Artists in New York January 6, 1928.
